People in Montenegro: we adapt competently
Moving to Montenegro will cost you cheaper not only from the point of view of means, but also from the point of view of nerve cells, than any other European country. However, the nuances need to be known, because the locals, although patient, but not unlimited, and spoil the impression of yourself is very easy. So, people in Montenegro: mentality and habits.

Like the Serbs, Montenegrins, regardless of political upheavals, are positive about Russians, regardless of whether you emigrated or just came to rest. Be prepared for unexpected little gifts from strangers on the street or even refreshments in cafes and restaurants. Although the friendliness can be lost at any moment against the backdrop of flare-ups of the Mountain Slavic mentality - here one can even stand up for themselves and can, therefore it is better not to provoke provocative conversations, it ends badly. However, in this cozy and friendly country about politics, I do not want to remember somehow.

There is another interesting point: when dealing with a Montenegrin in a cafe, you will not notice how you acquired a property in Montenegro or signed for a long lease, while usually people in Montenegro conduct such operations with visitors, offering houses and apartments not even their own, but their own numerous friends and relatives. Be careful, or else the villa in Montenegro will be sold to you even at the gas station. It sounds funny, but the statistics of deceived tourists is impressive. Well, deceived. Only if in their own expectations.

It's worth getting used to the fact that people in Montenegro live in a hurry, and therefore business in Montenegro with the involvement of local labor may seem completely unimaginable to you. So, you will spend truly titanic efforts, so that your Montenegrin staff come to work on time. This applies to both business graphics and business meetings. People in Montenegro are not late except for planes, and the rest of the world will wait.

In other words, if you bought a house in Montenegro and rented an apartment here and are counting on the same stern and uncompromising rhythm that you are used to in Moscow, relax. From time immemorial here lived differently, and even in the framework of one office this situation can not be changed. Even Russian people in Montenegro quickly become Montenegrin, although they still have a chance to return to that same old, zadergno-active state.

With the local try not to negotiate for a certain time - lose a business hour or two, and try not to lend (the waiting time for a refund can be calculated over the years). If you need something urgently, take it at once, because if you move even for a day, you may simply not be reached. With overpriced prices, you can fight - bargain, people in Montenegro, this measure is respected and they themselves apply everywhere.

Renting a property in Montenegro or buying it is a wonderful choice. Cozy, anti-stress, great. But if you do not want to be nervous all the time because of the various delays in the form of coffee-drinking and intimate conversations, the only way out is to become a Montenegrin businessman with all the consequences as soon as possible.
